"As Nice As Expected"
Just as pictured. Well-made and attractive. Comes in an attractive bag, but knot on pull string was impossible to untie.

"Just what I had been looking for!"
I have several pieces of jewelry similar in design to these beautiful sterling silver and black jade earrings and had been searching for a simple pair of earrings to coordinate. When I saw these featured in the NOVICA catalog, I had to have them! I purchased them as an (early) birthday gift to myself, but when they arrived, I started wearing them. They are simple, tasteful and can be worn alone or with other earrings (I have room for up to six earrings). Of course, they arrived in the lovely, simple NOVICA gift wrap with a thank you note and the personal story of the artisan. Thank you (again), NOVICA.
